As a former regular who swore by this place it is unfortunate the way it, and it’s sister restaurant further along King Street have, it seems, turned out. Standards are definitely lower than a year or so ago. Last week, the sweet and sour chicken was flavoured/coloured with tomato ketchup, and it seems that getting there too early is a bad idea as you have re-heated leftovers from lunchtime/previous evening. A lot of the food is lukewarm at best. I know it’s a bit mean as it’s so cheap but I’ve actually refused to pay a couple of times. But I do go back as when it’s all coming together it’s still great value for pretty good food.

I am never really a huge fan of Chinese buffet, the food just tastes really artificial and hydrogenated. The food here is not especially different. The all you can eat buffet offers over 20 varieties of dishes– from the traditional sweet and sour to a veggie selection. I never can really trust what is inside these buffet dishes, in terms of how much is actually i. e pork and how much is fried oil covering it slobbered in the sweet and sour sauce. Anyhow, it can be a popular choice when having a Chinese craving, at £5.50 for the lunch buffet(before 5pm) and £8.50 for the dinner one(5pm-11pm). In addition, I guess it works out for businesses around to be able to get a take away box for £3 or a large one for £3.50. I guess, come here if you don’t mind the unhealthy bits and want to satisfy your tummy.

If you want a bit of cheap and cheerful Chinese food and you don’t want to wait then this is the place for you. Maybe shopping in Hammersmith? — Dive in here, pay the set fee, grab a plate an off you go. Buffet style, so you help yourself and you can have as much as you can eat. Obviously not the place for an evening of fine dining but it offers a quick and easy way to load up and be on your way. Food is typical Chinese and quality is remarkably good for the price. Service is o.k., could be a bit better but again it is cheap and cheerful here so you cannot expect too much from them.

Good quality varied buffet in modern, clean, surroundings. Lunchtime and evening buffet. Also does takeaways. Frequented by local chinese which is a clear compliment.
